    Lovely to see an old friend back in running order. Also very pleased to see 5110 has retained its Holyhead shed code.

    Has it ever actually been confirmed who owns her beyond 'private owner', she may have been moved to Carnforth for overhaul but if she is not WCR owned the owner just may not want the hassle and cost of mainline running?

    You know fine well that nothing "official" will ever emanate from 10A.
    Suffice to say that the GWSR publicity marking the arrival gives thanks to "West Coast Railways" ........
